I think some people who have issues of their own with weight just can't STAND to see someone else with dedication, willpower and who is successful and will deliberately sabotage their efforts, either by making remarks or by shoving a plate of food at you. It's far more to do with their insecurities than with you:…

No lie...I totally started to get tears in my eyes looking at your pics and reading this (in a good way, not a bad way)---I don't even know you and I am SO PROUD of you! :)

You really ARE trolling, aren't you?

INTJ.

--It could be bloating, but that sounds more like constipation to me. I would increase water and fiber--the fiber a little at a time--or try something like Metamucil. I would not advise anything stronger for constipation since straight laxatives can be hellish and make the problem worse.

Dear God--PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE wipe it down! Seriously. this is one of my biggest pet peeves. :s And as a personal observation, the women at the gym which I frequent almost always (I'd say 99% of them) wipe down equipment while the men just walk away and don't even bother. I have always been puzzled by this: do these men…

I tried a no-carb diet. No lie, I only lasted 4 hours. I was lightheaded and hangry.

Ummm...it was a pretty obvious use of sarcasm to me, but perhaps my sarcasm filter is just more finely tuned than others who thought it was a serious comment.

^^^^^^This. QFT.

'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree'--no particular reason except for it being played ad nauseum

Is this trolling? It's too early for that.

The words "spouse", "slacks" and"utilize". Also, "my bad".

CoffeeMate flavored creamers do me in. They have some sort of additive in them that is just ghastly for my IBS. I can drink a single cup of black coffee with a meal with no problems, but the creamer while tasty, just causes horrendous issues. And it took me a LONG time to isolate it as the problem!

There are 16 pages of this thread and after reading through the first 2 and not seeing any correction of 'worlded and twirled" to "whirled and twirled", I thought I"d put my 2 cents in. My apologies if anyone on the other 14 pages corrected it before I did. It seems that everyone was correcting something about the original…

The Defenestration of Prague just doesn't get enough publicity as a historical event.

Why by Christmas? 25 pounds in 32 days is unreasonable. You didn't gain it that fast, and you could lose it that fast--I suppose--if you had a tapeworm, spent the time truly and literally starving away from all food entirely, or had a serious medical condition. But why? At the risk of getting flagged for being mean, I…

While I think that many people benefit from working out in the morning, I don't think that everyone can and feel good about it. Yes, it is easier to stick to once you get a routine going, but sometimes it's just easier to go with what your body says as far as timing. You say that you can't get motivated to get to the gym…

I tried to start running about 5 times in outdoor terrain doing the C25K method and I couldn't ever get past the first week without repeating it 6 times before finally giving up. I finally changed tactics and started on a treadmill about 3 weeks ago and I am improving wonderfully. I think running without the treadmill led…

A person could really lose some serious weight if they followed the sugar-free gummi bear diet! Read the rave review here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3FTHSH0UNRHOH/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R3FTHSH0UNRHOH

Good lord--if you are that active you certainly need to be eating more than what you are. You have about 600 calories left at the end of the day and your goal is 1200? Keep up the activity (you could even cut back some on that actually) but I would definitely eat more real food, not Herbalife shakes or take quick short…

I have not come across the word merkin in quite some time. Thanks for the laugh! :laugh:

thank god I wasn't the only one who got the reference! :drinker:

What's that stuff found in nature that kinda glows in the dark (phosphorus??)--I'm sure you could use that to smear on your wet animals skins as well! :drinker:

Are you just NOW getting the memo? Most of us have known this for a considerable amount of time. :laugh:

Amen. :drinker:

I worked in a computer lab on a college campus--we had the radio on and were standing around listening to the verdict too.

Nope. Never. and while on the topic, I hate it when I'm in a public restroom and I hear other women talking on their phones in the next stall. That is so tacky and classless.(unless you're calling 911 or a plumber) :laugh:

It seems that far too often on here that women are either criticized as too skinny or too fat. I don't get it. She's lovely. Why can't that be all that's said? [insert shrug]:noway:

That makes total sense now....I never thought of it that way. Thanks!:smile:

All this talk about how "supportive" we all should be just begs for clarification: One person's idea of support may be "Everybody slips up once in a while. Don't beat yourself up. Just log the whole pizza and call it a day". Another person's idea of support "Do you have any idea how much sodium is in that pizza? When you…
